Hitler thought capitalism was a Jewish idea, which ought to let you know what he thought about it.

FDR didn't save capitalism at all, we didn't even have capitalism. The price of credit was set by central planners, the exact same way the price of everything was set by the Soviets.

Both Germany and Italy were constitutional monarchies prior to fascism, and the reason they went to fascism is because of WWI's aftermath and how they thought they had both been mistreated by the Treaty of Versailles.


wow, four comments and three of them complete BS.

doesn't matter what hitler thought Capitalism was alive and well in Nazi Germany. Yes, the Nazi's controlled many facets but big business thrived under the Nazis--you want to argue this fact too. VW, Mercedes, Bayer and IG Farben just to name a few.

of course we had capitalism, we have had capitalism in this country since the days of the revolutionary war--would you like to argue this also.

the treaty of Versailles was certainly a flash point but not the end all and cause of WWII. And how was Italy even involved with that when they fought on the side of the allies in WWI. Josh, you seldom know what you are talking about sir. You are a BS like most of the R.
